You need to focus on the FACTS Valueplay.......the focus is to improve efficiency of existing CFC's before rolling out further....there is always teething problems with new technology but once they have revised the operating model it will be rolled out further no doubt.
Sept 2023 - Kroger is continuing to move forward with its automated grocery fulfillment project, but the company is holding off on the development of new facilities until it is confident existing sites are performing up to expectations, the grocerβs top executive said during an earnings call Friday.
Koger is making βcontinued great progressβ on the growth in the e-commerce sheds and the base operating modelβ of the network, which it is building in partnership with U.K.-based robotics company Ocado, Kroger Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rodney McMullen said during the call.
McMullen said, however, that βall the energy is focusedβ on the Ocado sites already in operation, which include customer fulfillment centers, called CFCs, and connected sites known as spokes.
βWeβre making progress, but we wouldnβt be to the point where we would start focusing on additional sheds until we make sure that we have a clear path on the ones we have,β McMullen said.
